Increasing temperatures are already killing huge numbers of people.

A ProPublica and @us.theguardian.com analysis found that Trump’s “America First” agenda is expected to add substantially to the toll, with the vast majority of deaths occurring outside the U.S.

By @fastlerner.bsky.social
Trump’s Anti-Green Agenda Could Lead to 1.3 Million More Climate Deaths. The Poorest Countries Will Be Impacted Most.
Most of the people expected to suffer these temperature-related deaths live in poor countries in Africa and South Asia that are least prepared to cope with the increasing heat from climate change.

I don't know. Id argue that he's not funny at all, as much as people keep insisting he is. His timing sucks. He's just loud, annoying, and awkward. Which doesn't really add up to a joke. He's kind of like if Kenny Powers was a boring suit. Nobody needs that.
once again joining the many people who have observed how much of a world-historical problem it is that Trump is so fucking funny
Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

MAMDANI: I've spoken about--

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

Italy is the number one romantic destination among couples who enjoy the sensual sound of two pieces of mortadella hitting together.

... I'm sorry. I'm still trying to figure out if Bluesky is for shitposting.

God help me, I do love a "quirky" (?) Pop song that kinda has some Broadway in it.

There's a photo shoot of some kind happening outside of the window that faces the counter where I'm working. I can definitely understand how having a flash in your face can cause a celeb to lose it momentarily.

Bring back oral story telling that's not true crime!
One of the things that gets lost in translation is how rhythmic & fun to read the prose of the original Journey to the West is.
Best way I can describe it is "Imagine if Dragonball was Written instead of Drawn"

Esp. when for most of its existence, this is how story would've actually been read:

Went to a show after a shift on my feet with no breaks. Feeling extra middle-aged today lol. Time for that Rx Ibuprofen.

We're slammed. Guy asks for a slice. I ask his name for the order. I don't understand, so I'm stone-faced, grabbing a box, waiting to ask again.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" I ask.

"Mr. Handsome Guy."

Honestly, the fact that I made him repeat the lame joke was way funnier than the joke itself.

Nov 4. The latest I read is that the state intends to reinstate SNAP, while the feds are going back on their commitment to fund the program by half. While they lie and play, we workers follow through on our promises. Imbiss will still provide a free pretzel tommorow to those with an EBT card.
Nov. 2nd and still no plan to reinstate SNAP benefits. This week, Imbiss will offer a free pretzel while they last to anyone with an EBT card. I'll be at Govans Market from 1 to 4 on Wednesday. Let's take care of each other.

Pretzels for the People because, like Fred said, Power to the People!

I bought this because I thought it was funny. I was sure it was going to be nasty, but it's actually... pretty dang nice? Wild stuff.

I think Trump wants to end SNAP forever. In the clutch with reporters he said something like, “We are ending Democrat Programs and they’re not coming back.”

I keep thinking about how Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries, a source of aid for the poor.

We may be at that level of societal change.

Remembering the time I wanted to be Kim Deal for Halloween so I just wore my normal clothes and lugged a bass around Boston. What a dork lol

Did you all know Walmart has its own in store radio with DJs and everything? I'm in hell. 😆

Hey y'all, it's Apfelschorle fall. (Well, cider and seltzer...) The Govans Market is winding down; catch me there through Nov. 5.

That said, let me know of any vending opportunities this winter! Does you party need pretzels? Are you planning a show and you need carbs to fuel the pit? Get at me!

It's so frustrating to hear this from Trans folks because hrt is forced on us intersex folks. Like, the doctors need to stop playing because its obviously not about safety or consent.
i wish i had not gotten my head fucked up by doctors when i first asked about hrt in the early ‘00s, i do not want anyone to suffer the way i suffered back in the closet for all those years
despite all the fear mongering about trans people and the attempts to abandon and actively harm us from both political parties in the US, transitioning is still the greatest decision i’ve ever made, only regret i have is not doing it younger, and that it has only made my life infinitely better
